Elevate Your Bathroom Towel Holders On A Dollar Tree Budget

The bathroom is probably the last place you'd think to decorate (or not!). Regardless, it doesn't take much to make a tired bathroom look more luxe. $2.5 to be exact, in the case of TikTok user @mstwink07. All it took was a trip to Dollar Tree to elevate her bathroom towel holders with an elegant tie-back. It almost looks as if the towels are wearing jewelry.

You could display it in the guest bathroom to surprise guests, or use it as an everyday décor to add style to the space. Why not even make multiple pieces since you only need two items, anyway? To get started, you'll need some cute pens. It could be a Ballpoint Pen with Diamond-Shaped Jewel, a pearl pen, or disco ball pen — either way, Dollar Tree sells a variety in-store (bonus points if you find one in a color that you'd like to see in your bathroom). Next, pick up a small picture frame, ideally something that's 2 by 3 inches, such as the Special Moments Memories Collection Mini Gold Photo Frames. 4 by 6 inches would work, too. It really depends on how big the towel is.

This elegant towel décor hack can be done in minutes. All you need to do is remove the cardboard backing and glass from the picture frame, then unscrew the pen to remove the ink part. Hang your bathroom's hand towels over the towel bar (side note: you can also layer them on top of bigger bath towels for a hotel-like feel). Grab your empty picture frame and position it horizontally against the hand towel. Push the towel through the opening until there's just enough space for the pen to pass underneath it. And that's about it.

Our favorite part about this DIY? You can easily customize the towel holder to fit your personal style. Let's say you weren't able to find a frame or pen in the color that you wanted. Spray-paint them instead. Choose a metallic finish, like gold and silver, for a glitzy touch. Or, take the playful route with pinks, blues, and purples. Another idea is to have the décor piece match the seasons. For instance, you could paint it green and red to make your bathroom guest-ready for the holidays. And if "extra" is your middle name, dress it up even further with a cute bow in front or with Dollar Tree's Crafter's Square Shiny Gem Stickers along the edges.
